How are you measuring - Samsung Magician? It says I already have the latest 3B7QCXE7 firmware installed. I only bought the device in early February. Sequential: Read: 3,132 MB/s Write: 1,531 MB/s Random: Read: 124,023 IOPS Write: 113,525 IOPS Now, why did I ever bother running that test? I was happy until I did. I still am with the Sequential results but why am I only getting half your IOPS.  NVMe driver is Samsung's 2.3.0.1709 dated 12/10/2017. ------------- ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 ITX P4.90, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 2x8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16, 250GB Samsung 960EVO, 500GB Samsung 850EVO, 4TB WD Blue, Windows 10 Pro 64, Corsair SF450, Cooler Master Elite 110 |

I just ran it with the defaults. I literally installed it, made sure that the C: drive was selected and clicked the ALL button. Then saved the result as a text file, which I copied and pasted. My sequential figures are good but my random figures are way behind yours and the longer the queue length the worse they are, so don't feel so bad about that unwanted update  BTW, I did do a trim before starting the test. Well, it's something to ponder and maybe tinker with if I find any clues. ------------- ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 ITX P4.90, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 2x8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16, 250GB Samsung 960EVO, 500GB Samsung 850EVO, 4TB WD Blue, Windows 10 Pro 64, Corsair SF450, Cooler Master Elite 110 |
